My name is Jabari “JayBars” Jenkins — a filmmaker, storyteller, and founder of Truly Talented Movie Group, an independent production company rooted in truth, culture, and legacy.

We’re not just making movies. We’re building something real from the ground up — and now, I’m asking for your help to take it to the next level.

Why This Matters

Hollywood doesn’t tell our stories the right way — if they tell them at all.

That’s why I created Truly Talented Movie Group — to give voice to real stories from real people. Stories that reflect what we’ve lived. What we’ve lost. And what we’re still fighting for.

This isn’t just about chasing a dream.

It’s about creating ownership, legacy, and a lane for the next generation of filmmakers who look like me — and come from where I come from.

Our First Film Is Done — But the Work Isn’t

We just completed our first full-length feature: In The Field — a gritty Bay Area crime film inspired by the lives of my friends, family, and people we lost too soon. Most of the characters are based on real people. Some never got the chance to tell their story. This is my tribute to them.

I paid for the entire production myself — every location, every camera, every edit. But now I need your help to finish post-production and build the infrastructure to keep this company going.

What Your Donation Supports

Your support directly funds:

• Final post-production on In The Field (sound, effects, mastering)

• Marketing + promotion to get the film seen by the right audience

• Next projects in development (3 feature films, 2 shorts, and multiple series)

• Legal protection + licensing to maintain ownership

• Company growth — building a platform for more films, more stories, more impact

Why You Should Donate

If you:

✔️ Believe in real storytelling

✔️ Want to support Black creators building their own lanes

✔️ Want to see movies that reflect our world, our pain, our power

✔️ Want to invest in something that’s bigger than entertainment

Then this is your chance to make it happen.

Whether it’s $5 or $500, every dollar helps finish what we started — and lays the foundation for what’s coming next.

This is the moment to help us go from one film… to a whole movement.
